Welcome guys and gals to the Mantox podcast. I'm Connor Beaton, the host and founder of

Man Talks. This podcast brings together the best thought leaders, teachers, and extraordinary

individuals to help teach

and mentor you on how to be a top performer in life, love, and business.

Joining me today is Dr. Jessica Tracy. She is a teacher and professor at the University

of British Columbia in the Department of Psychology, and we are going to dive

into the topic of pride. It's really interesting. There's two different types of pride. We

distinguish between the two of those. And Jessica actually talks about some of the core components

of how pride impacts our confidence levels and how that pride can either distinguish between us being perceived

as, you know, cocky or arrogant versus somebody who is extremely confident and grounded.

So Jessica is a professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia, a Sauter

distinguished scholar, and a Canadian

Institute for Health Research New Investigator. Her work is currently supported by a Canadian

Institute for Health Research, operating grant, and she is an associate editor at Journal of

Personality and Social Psychology.

She grew up in Washington, D.C., and in 1996, received her Bachelor of Arts from Amherst College.

After graduating, she drove across the country, which she talks about a little bit to San Francisco.

And in 2005, received her PhD in social personality psychology from UC Davis and then moved to

Vancouver and began her professorship at UBC.

So she is definitely understands psychology and is extremely well versed.

And some of the research that her and her team have done here at UBC and Vancouver is just

incredible.
